There’s going to be lots more going on to celebrate the launch of Amelia Fang in October (now named Fangtober!), including a beautiful animated book trailer set to be released in time for Halloween.
On Twitter, Laura Ellen Anderson is taking on the #Inktober challenge with 31 days of Squashy drawings, Amelia’s pet pumpkin. We are now up to day three and Squashy is looking quite content.
